The sup-ply will be reduced to the demand and pay .better.— ¡ The Camels. \Two lots of Osmele have been proenred from theEast, and are now in Texas. The first lot was obtained in 1865—'6, through the agency of MajorHenry C. Wayne, Of the "D. 8. Army, nnder thedirection of the War Department. Thirty threeanimals were obtained at Tunis. Cairo, and Smyrna—a part of tbern gifts from the local authorities.The sum expended in seonring them was abouteight thousand dollars.Major Wayne says he isi-atisfied that Americanswill be able to manage camels nut only as well, batbetter than Arabs, as they will do it with morehumanity and far greater intelligence. The camelsobtained by Majar Wayne were landed at India-nola, Texas, on the 14th of May, 1856, and he re-mained in charge of them nntil January of thisyear. In a letter to the Secretary of War on the12th of February he says that the process of accli-mation ha been partially, and so far successfullyaccomplished; so that he has no doubt Of its com-plete success. He proposes that the camels shou Idhave a fixed home for three or four years at somepoint on the frontier, where they may be oarefu'ilyattended, and their increase in number promoted,and from which they may be used trom time totime in transportation and Bconting. Their presentlocation (Camp Verde, Texas,) is recommended asan excellent one. Alter the thirty-three camelsprocured by Major Wayne were landed, the UnitedStates ship Supply was immediately dispatched foranother lot, which were duly obtained and laudedat Indiaoola on the 10th of February last. Theywere forty-one in number, and much finer animalsthan the first lot,although their cost was no greater^'The prices of camels range almost as widely as thesoma paid f"r horses in this country.

The other Begi-ment of Infantry, the Fifth, I believe, is expectedin a few days. These troops do not appear to bevery mnoh delighted with the service on whichthey aro ordered. The season is so late that theyanticipate a great; deal of suffering during the ap-proaching winter,, in the Boeky Mountains, as tbeywill have only their oanvas to protect them from itsrigors. The oonseqneuce is, that the number ofdesertions is unparalleled. The Fifth and TJenthInfantry have lost nearly five hundred men sincethey firat received orders for Utah. It is verydifflcnlt to see wbv this expedition was not put offnntil next spring,instead of being pushed on at theeleventh hour at such an immense sacrifice of menand money.

Thomas-Diok.—The Dundee (Scot-land ) Advertiser records the demise of Thomas Dick,the well-known'author of the Christian Philosopherand other kindred works. Dr. Dick; wbo was in, the eighty-third year of his age, expired at BroughtyFerry, hear Dundee, on Wednesday last. He wasborn in the Hilltown, Dundee, on the 24th of Nov-ember, 1774, his father being Mungo Dick, a smalllinen manufacturer, For ten years he taught atPerth, where he wrote the Christian Philosoper,which became a favorite work and ran through sev-eral editions. The success of that work induoedhim to resign his position as a teacher and retire toBroughty Ferry, near Dundee, where in 1827 andin the fifty third year he established) himsélf in aneat little cottage on the hill, to the astonishmentof the villagers at the time, who looked with wonderupon bis observatory, and speculated greatly on bisreasons for dwelling so much above them. Fromthat time until witbin the last few years, when thechill of age stayed bis band, his pen was ever busypreparing the numerous works in which, underdifierent forms and by various methods, he not only,as an Amelicán divine has said, brought down phi-losophy from heaven to earth, but raised it fromearth to heaven. About eight years ago he was pro-strated by a severe illness, from the effects of whichhe never wholly recovered.The Sue of London.—When the stone in Pán-yer's alley was placed on its site three centuriessince, the circumference was about five miles. Atpresent, however, Jo make a pedestrian expeditionaround the metropolis would to most persons bean undertaking of some importance, as may be seenby referring to the following particulars, whichhave been gathered from a reeent published map:From Cbiswiok to Kentish town, 12 miles; fromKentish town to Milwall, 17}£ miles; from Milwallto Chis wick 28 miles—total, 57% miles, very nearthree day's journey at the rate of 20 miles a day ;and it' will be observed that in the line drawn, Bat-tersea, Clapham, Canning town, and many otherplaces, which even at present can scarcely be saidto be separated from London, have been left out."As the crow would fly " across streets and housesfrom the point whence we started at Chiswiok to thefarthest east, the distanoe is nearly elevén miles,and the greatest width from north to south upwardsof seven miles.—The Builder.married.. ;'\On the 26th July, in Trinity county, Mr. E.
